i'd make sure you have really good drainage if you have a gutter running along where you want to put the wall. our neighbours didn't do great drainage for their retaining wall and it has bowed out a ton. i'm actually surprised that it hasn't collapsed.
i can't really help you with finding someone, as i'm in kelowna, but like i said above - it isn't that difficult of a job and you can save yourself some $$ if you do it yourself
